Increase of baclofen intoxications: risks involved and management.

Baclofen has been increasingly used in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS). We present a patient with AWS and psychiatric comorbidity who ingested 700 mg of baclofen. ICU admission was necessary for ventilatory support and symptomatic treatment.

Promoter analysis of the auxin-regulated tobacco glutathione S-transferase genes Nt103-1 and Nt103-35.

We have analysed the promoter regions of two closely related auxin-regulated glutathione S-transferase genes. All active deletion constructs tested showed expression of the reporter gene beta-glucuronidase (gusA) in root tips of young seedlings and newly developing lateral roots. Auxin treatment greatly enhanced the level of expression.

Articulatory representation and speech technology.

In this paper we demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of articulation-based approaches in two major areas of speech technology: speech recognition and speech synthesis. Our articulatory recognition model estimates probabilities of categories of manner and place of articulation, which establish the articulatory feature vector. The transformation from the articulatory level to the symbolic level is performed by hidden Markov models or multi-layer perceptions.

Changes in the tissue-specific prevalence of translatable mRNAs in transgenic tobacco shoots containing the T-DNA cytokinin gene.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of in vitro translation products was used to examine differences between the steady state RNA populations of an untransformed tobacco plant line and a non-rooting tobacco shoot line transformed with a T l -DNA segment from Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying the cytokinin gene (T-cyt). The analysis comprised about 240 translation products representing the more abundant mRNAs. Approximately 8% of the translation products were found to have significantly different concentrations, due to both increases and decreases, when the shoot parts of the transformed and untransformed lines were compared.
